i can't (and seriously dont wanna try) even thinking about him gettin leid. no wonder lynne wrote that scandalous novel.
i was gonna suggest you google the title because i wasnt finding anything that could be considered an objective review...but then i found this at msnbc. it seems to have been originally published in newsweek, possibly april 5, 2001. everything in italics that follows is a direct copy/paste:
In 1981, long before her husband was elected vice president, Lynne Cheney wrote "Sisters," a steamy bodice-ripper set in the 19th-century American West, featuring vivid tales of whorehouses, attempted rapes, a suspicious murder and several lesbian love affairs, of which Cheney writes approvingly. The paperback, published in Canada, has been out of print for nearly two decades. But on April 6 the book is scheduled to be released for the first time in the United States. Many of the novel's most lurid details have already been unearthed on the Internet and by gay-rights activists, who believe Cheney's treatment of lesbian relationships in the book is at odds with the Bush administration's stance against gay marriage. (Cheney's been silent about gay marriage, although her daughter Mary is openly gay.) For example, in the book a woman says of her female lover: "How well her words describe our love—or the way it would be if we could remove all impediments, leave this place and join together. Then our union would be complete. Our lives would flow together, twin streams merging into a single river."
A Cheney spokesperson says the reissue came as a surprise to the Second Lady. Cheney told The Washington Post in October 2000: "The reports of my novel are greatly exaggerated. Nevertheless, I hope they improve sales."

as an update, there are no longer plans to reprint her book. ive heard there was at least one copy available recently on ebay with a min bid price of $2500.
well, technically she's only part of the administration at times. like when she recently complained until the us government's department of history destroyed 300,000 copies of '"Helping Your Child Learn History" because of references to the National Standards for United States History (national standards for us history was a project she greenlighted as head of the national endowment for the arts when she WAS a member of the previous bush administration). in other words, she was for it and now shes against it. flip-floppers dammit.
the funny thing is the first sentence of the pamphlet sounds like something about which dick'n'bush must dream: "Imagine that you wake up one morning to find out you have no memory!"
oh...and youre welcome. of course!
according to a reuters report from about 2am pst, things really did get scary.
"I was in the neighborhood and thought I'd stop by and say, Aloha," a smiling Cheney, wearing a brightly colored lei, told thousands of raucous supporters at a late night rally in Honolulu.
He also used Osama bin Laden's videotape to launch his latest attack on Kerry, this time accusing the Massachusetts senator of relying on opinion polls to determine his positions on vital security issues.
"Right after the bin Laden tape was released, the Kerry campaign took a poll to see what his response should be. He put his finger in the air to see which way the political wind was blowing," Cheney said.
The Kerry-Edwards campaign fired back by accusing Cheney of politicizing the bin Laden tape and said the vice president was referring erroneously to a poll conducted by a group called Democracy Corps, which has no formal affiliation with Kerry.
"It's a false charge. Like other Cheney attacks, it has no foundation in fact," Singer said.
yikes....you were right mz w!
